I’m not disagreeing with you, but just pointing out that you do actually have followers here - one can subscribe to other stackers. However, follower counts aren’t publicized like they are on other platforms

The fact that you don't have to worry about whether:
1. you have followers or not
2. you have many followers or few, 

This makes SN the best social network. Almost all social media platforms, rely on how many followers you have and what subscriptions you are in, in order to reach a good number of audience. Whether the content is valuable or not.

The beauty of SN is. It's V4V. It all depends on how valuable your content is. I don't think it's too early to say "SN is a real definition of social network".
